Rudiger - Not Anymore [Review]

August 12, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos, Commercial

Rating: 4 out of 5

“You ever found yourself swaying with emotions to a song. Rudiger’s new single “Not Anymore” draws you in emotionally as you can feel the hurt in his voice. As he recaps on the love and memories he has. Despite the song being nearly 6 mins long it doesn’t seem lengthy and draws you to keep listening.”

    Sons of Wākea x Kod¥ - HaYnTime [Music Video Review]

    August 12, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Summer isn’t over yet. Well in Hawaii is it ever over? Sons of Wākea and Kod¥ delivers a laidback yet cruising song about HaYnTime. There are plenty things to do but there is no rush when you are vibin and jamming enjoying life. This song is a musical example of “stop and smell the roses”, it gives you positive energy to just enjoy life with no rush.”

      Brian James and The Great Unknown - "Taken" [Music Video Review]

      August 12, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Commercial, Music Videos

      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

      “ The Great Unknown starts with a 15 sec introductory solo before Brian starts singing in a dialogue to accompany the visual. “Taken” is an electrifying single about seduction and admiration. You often go to a bar to release your thoughts or to pick someone up and in this case claim what is yours.”

        #LAOnLockExclusive: Chriz Gabriel- "Potluck" [Music Video Review]

        August 09, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos, Music, Hip-Hop, Jazz

        Rating: 5 out of 5

        “Nowadays people tend to run when they hear the word “potluck”. It usually means their job is encouraging them and their coworkers to contribute a food item to a work office dinner. We all know everyone can’t cook and everything isn’t safe.

        However, Chriz Gabriel is cooking up a different vibe in his new single “Potluck” that you are sure to want more of after one listener.

        Chriz fuses bay vibes and London life with a Hip -Hop and Jazz melody that allows you to dance all the way through. Initially one would expect to see a bunch of adults cluttered around but “Potluck” visually creates a vibe that displays the talent of kids and a universal track that anyone can ride too.”

          J. Epps - APF [Music Video Review]

          August 08, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Trap

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “J. Epps reps H-town on this track and if you’ve spent anytime in or around Texas’s biggest city, you will definitely dig on this lyrical flow. This track comes with a no frills flow and beat that is brought to life by Epps’ passion and talent. In other words this one track simply hits with the truth and a genuine realness that is often attempted but rarely created. If you want a bunch of shiny bells and whistles in your production this might not be the single for you, but if you can get down to the bare truth and a genuine flow — then this is one of the realest singles you will find.”

            Nea x SHY Martin - No Regrets [Music Video Review]

            August 06, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop, Commercial, Bedroom

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Straight out of the Swedish countryside, longtime friends Nea and SHY Martin wrote ‘No Regrets’ after working together for years as songwriters writing for others. This time they decided to keep the summer smash for themselves and the passion and emotional connection shines through in this Pop delight.

            The airy build and progression makes it a fun and uplifting track and you will have no regrets adding the single to your own playlists.”

              Otev - In My Head [Music Video Review]

              August 06, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Contemporary R&B, Autotune, Alternative

              Rating: 3.5 out of 5

              “The build and progression of this track worked for me, both vocally and the beat production. Lyrically this is one that simply resonated and made me nod my affirmations as I listened. The R&B groove gives the arrangement an easy flow and the production dynamics add just enough to give the while thing a contemporary feel.

              I was left wanting a bit more as the song felt short overall and could have went deeper in the writing, but all art should leave you wanting more and this one certainly did that for me.”

                Hot Mondy - Pale Ember [Music Video Review]

                Rating: 4.5 out of 5

                “The best music is always timeless, and very often beyond easy genre classification. That is the case with Hot Monday’s single, ‘Pale Ember.’ There are Indie Rock elements, and Americana elements which combine to give the track a Springsteen sort of threadbare vibe as well as an emotional brand of regret that permeates the delivery and makes it all feel so real. The writing is emotionally stirring and the performance conveys the feelings in every line. ”

                  “The artistic delivery is phenomenal. Groz introduces us to a subtle story as a young girl then delivers her strength vocally as a woman. With the ballet dancers guiding her throughout her new single “Save Me” is about sticking around over the years because you never know when someone may need you. ”

                    “Dezi’s dramatic yet dark new single “Sinner” brings anticipation and seduction. Surrounded by things that are either good or bad for you she sings about how her sins are what makes her happy. From a dramatic beat to a slow motion toward the two mark this is a track that will have you engaged in fantasy. ”

                      “A mirror is your reflection but does it truly show who you really are. Justin Clancy’s new single “Noose” is about the dark struggles we have. Not sure what direction he is going in, Justin battles with death and not knowing how long he will want to stay in this thing called life. The visual is a focus on death but it truly is the imagery of where some people’s mind is. ”

The West Coast vibes are are strong on the track, and this is the perfect song for slow rolling under the sun as you glide by rows of palm trees. The writing is stellar and comes with a brazen take on the world that endears the listener to the artist, and makes you nod in agreement as you dig in on this chill flow. ”

                          “Sure, life in ‘Suburbia’ has a well-earned reputation for the bland routine, but people are people, and underneath the glossy exteriors lurks desires and dreams and hopes and fears. and eventually, all of that is going to come out no matter the zip code .

                          This track from Devon Again put a sultry and secretive sexy spin on one such take. The video and song together weave an engaging story that is hard not to fall in and lose the world around you.”

                            “In what sounds like the intro to an old 80’s movie Blood Panda’s new single “One Track Mind” is about a journey. Riding on a road to destruction a story is visually being told as the artist narrates the song. We have to understand either though our mind is on one thing life is full of many things if we just slow down.”

                              “We all like to get paid and when we do we do the “Money Dance”. B.A. Talks and Mona Mula deliver an upbeat single that will have you dancing and throwing money. Visually at a party with friends they all are celebrating the benefit of getting paid and celebrating their achievements. “Money Dance” is also the first single off of B.A.’s upcoming EP.”

                                “The stripped down arrangement of ‘Raindrops’ helps set the mood and make the track feel alive in a soft and gentle kind of way. Much like a calming rainfall does wonders for your soul, this track just feels refreshing to your ears and mind.

                                Under The Rug adds a bit of an odd interlude to the end of the video and track, but even that brought a smile to this jaded reviewers face. ”

                                  “If you remember those cute teen romance movies like “10 Things I Hate About You” and “What A Girl Wants”? If you do then “Late Nights” is a musical romance that visually highlights a date night. The band Rhett Repko describes what it likes to constantly think of someone and genuinely be in love”

                                    “Subtly sexy and wryly witty lyrics are behind the build of ‘In & Out,’ which has nothing to do with your burger cravings and everything to do with being blinded by lust.

                                    Jaime Deraz delivers tantalizing vocals in this confessional appraoch to admitting to being interested in her lover only when the two of them are out of their clothes. This is a fun Electro Pop track with a mesmerizing hook and taunting progression.”

                                      “Anjulie is a Canadian singer/songwriter and performer that possesses the power to hook her listeners and keep them invested in whatever she is singing. ‘Big Bad World’ is a slow building Electro Pop track with lyrical power tp go along with the wide ranging and talented vocals. The comfort of the performance stands in contrast to assertions that the world is at war and a scary place. The juxtaposition makes for engaging art. ”

Tour dates can be found on Ross’s website.”
